A life sentence is being served by Ronald Reed, who police identify as the triggerman. His conviction was for a murder that went unsolved for over three decades. Reed's appeals have been rejected, and now he is seeking parole after more than 20 years in prison.
The case involved the murder of a police officer, Jim Sackett, Sr. It was reopened in 1994, resulting in convictions in 2006. Further details about the case and Reed's parole request are available.
Reed's possible release is being opposed by the family of the murdered officer. They are pushing back against his parole request.
